Wow--can you believe we are in the final three months of the year?
I don't have high hopes of getting much done before the new year with the holidays coming up and my impending cataract surgery on November 1st and 15th. I haven't made a lot of progress since getting home from quilt camp, but I've managed to do some fall clean up outside.
These are the projects I would like to have completely completed by the end of December--wish me luck--LOL!

Sigh.
Yes, this has been on my list all year--why can't I get these Stitching Society hexagons put together?? Maybe it will happen soon... |
 |
| All the instructions for the Temecula Circa 2016 have been posted and will be removed soon. I have kept up with all the blocks and the half square triangles are done, so this should be a doable finish. |
 |
| I just finished the September block with the bee skep, and the bird with the heart is the final block. |
 |
| I know everyone doing Buttermilk Basin's Let It Snow is waiting on pins and needles to see what will go in that empty space--and then we will be done! |
 |
| Walking on Broken Glass by Teacher's Pet is the one and only jelly roll quilt I've ever made. I've been taking this project to retreats for years and finally just finished it. I was lucky to find a red at Gruber's for the inner border, and I found a brown Paula Barnes print in my stash (yay!) that I like for the outer border. I was tempted to go with a green border, but I think the brown will keep it from looking like a Christmas quilt and more usable year round, since it will probably be a donation quilt. |
 |
| Lastly, since this scrappy Patchwork Olympics is my October UFO, I better get this one completed, for sure!

Love all your projects, but I really took note of how you bordered your Temecula patchwork challenge - love that and have it saved for when the snow flies.
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck, not that you need it, you are great at finishing ufos! You've picked lots of wonderful projects so they'll be fun to finish.

ReplyDeleteYou've been very busy! I especially like your Patchwork Olympics quilt.
ReplyDeleteJust remember if you don't have much time between now and the end of the year, these wonderful projects will be no worse off and will be waiting in January. You've been very productive for 2016! Sometimes I forget to add 'fun' into the list.
ReplyDeleteI think you will be surprised at how quickly you heal after cataract surgery. My husband was amazed that within hours he did not need his glasses. Just think how much easier it will be to work on those UFOs! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteSo many fabulous projects to share with us!
ReplyDeleteI am always inspired by your beautiful work and your ability to complete so many monthly assignments. Wishing you great success on your eye surgeries and a speedy recovery!
